Teens arrested after prank kidnapping

Three East Greenbush teens mocked a kidnapping in Troy Thursday when they went past a McDonald’s drive-through window with one of the them in the back seat, bound in clear plastic wrap around her torso and duct tape over her mouth, police said.

The bound teen’s muffled screams for help prompted the drive-through attendant to call police.

The car and the teens were located a short time later, where they admitted to police that it was a prank. They were charged with falsely reporting an incident, were released on their own recognizance and must appear in East Greenbush Town Court on a later date.
